Preacher: Tally Marrlow Stand Alone The post Automatic Admission to the Life's Club appeared first on Gathering Church Viridian.
Acts 9 reveals that faithful presence begins with being attuned to Jesus, who meets us in ordinary moments and invites us into His redemptive work. Like Ananias, we're called to listen for Jesus' voice and follow Him with courage, even when it leads into uncomfortable spaces. As we abide in Him through prayer, openness, and awareness, we begin to see that every ordinary place becomes holy when Jesus is present there.

What does it mean to be good?It's a little word that carries a lot of weight for many of us. Be a good girl. Be a good friend. Be a good leader. Do good.Good can sound like praise, but become a cage of expectations and shoulds, a performance that chips away at our authenticity. Good is no longer something we are, but is how others see us. It leads us to people please and keep the peace at all costs. And that's especially true for women.All too often, when women are in leadership, their goodness is measured by how they make others feel–good, comfortable, understood. All of that matters. But when the measure of leadership becomes how comfortable other people feel around us, we lose something essential.We perform and manage emotions instead of building trust and respect. We seek to be liked and to fit in at the cost of real integrity and effectiveness. And likability is oh-so fleeting.Respect, integrity, and true belonging take time and discomfort to build, but they last.My guest today has written beautifully and bravely about the cost of being good, the truth of belonging, and the courage it takes to lead ourselves and others through discomfort.Elise Loehnen is the New York Times bestselling author of On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to be Good and the host of the podcast, Pulling the Thread, where she interviews cultural luminaries about the big questions of today, including people like Joy Harjo, John and Julie Gottman, Dr. Gabor Maté, and Esther Perel. In addition to On Our Best Behavior, she is the author of a corresponding workbook—Choosing Wholeness Over Goodness—with coach Courtney Smith (July 2025), and the co-author of True & False Magic, with legendary psychiatrist Phil Stutz. Elise lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Rob, and their sons, Max and Sam.Listen to the full episode to hear:How Elise traced the cultural roots of the “good woman” back to early Christianity and the many additions, erasures, and mistranslations of Biblical storiesWhy we need to pay attention to our envy and how it shows up in relation to other womenHow envy, pride, and greed fuel each other and the ways we stay small and tear other women downHow social media has heightened the risk of reputational damage and changed how women work and lead, for better and worseWhy we latch onto ideas of goodness and purity more deeply in times of greater uncertaintyHow current narratives about the “natural” order are ahistorical manipulations that limit what we believe is possibleLearn more about Elise Loehnen:WebsitePulling the Thread on SubstackInstagram: @eliseloehnenOn Our Best Behavior: The Price Women Pay to Be GoodChoosing Wholeness Over Goodness: A Process for Reclaiming Your Full SelfTrue and False Magic: A Tools WorkbookLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaThe Unburdened Leader on SubstackSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:Braving the Wilderness: The Quest for True Belonging and the Courage to Stand Alone, Brené BrownEP 123: Befriending Your Nervous System: Building Capacity for Regulation with Deb DanaThe Intrinsic Order that Emerges from Within Chaos (Elinor Dickson, PhD)Dancing in the Flames: The Dark Goddess in the Transformation of Consciousness, Elinor Dickson and Marion Woodman EP 88: Right-Use-of-Power: Navigating Leadership Dynamics with Dr. Cedar BarstowEP 125: Power, Regulation, and Leadership: Connecting to Your Personal Power with Dr. Amanda AguileraThe Reprioritization of Relationship (Lori Gottlieb)Maybe You Should Talk To Someone: A Therapist, HER Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed, Lori GottliebLessons from Hollywood's Most Powerful Woman—And How They Can Help You (with Donna Langley) | Aspire with Emma GredeAnswer to Job, Carl JungAion: Researches Into the Phenomenology of the Self, Carl JungThe Science of Magic: How the Mind Weaves the Fabric of Reality, Dean Radin PhDMistakes Were Made (but Not By Me): Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions, and Hurtful Acts, Carol Tavris and Elliot AronsonSigur Rós - YouTubeJónsi - YouTubeLove IslandThe Gilded AgeMaidenStutz

Professor Helen King and The Revd Canon Neil Patterson from Together for the Church of England discuss with Fr Alex recent news to halt plans for standalone same-sex blessing services. Bishops in the Church of England have decided not to move ahead with a trial of standalone services of blessing for same-sex couples. They have also decided that the current ban on priests marrying same-sex partners will remain in place for now. The House of Bishops reached its decisions at a meeting last week that reviewed theological and legal advice relating to the February 2023 vote in the General Synod to permit same-sex blessings. Since that time, same-sex blessings have been introduced as part of regular church services despite strong opposition from evangelicals. The question before the House of Bishops was whether 'bespoke' standalone services of blessing could be made available to same-sex couples, and whether clergy could legally enter into same-sex marriages. Legal advice considered by the bishops has determined that introducing standalone services would require two thirds majorities in the three houses of Synod at final approval, while legislation allowing clergy to marry same-sex partners would require simple majorities. Although final decisions will be taken by the bishops in December, they have "agreed in principle that both bespoke service and clergy same-sex marriage would need formal synodical and legislative processes to be completed before they could be permitted".source Christian Today.

#246: In this talk from the Saving Real Organic conference at Churchtown Dairy, Emily Oakley explains why so many small-scale, soil-based farms are dropping USDA certification - and why the time may be right for Real Organic Project to pursue its own standalone label. A founding farmer of our movement and former NOSB member, Emily asks one of the most urgent questions in the organic movement today: Can small farms still trust the USDA seal? She outlines what such a certification could look like, what it would take to make it free for farmers, and how it could reconnect growers and eaters through integrity and trust.https://realorganicproject.org/emily-oakley-standalone-label-246The Real Organic Podcast is hosted by Dave Chapman and Linley Dixon, engineered by Brandon StCyr, and edited and produced by Jenny Prince.The Real Organic Project is a farmer-led movement working towards certifying 1,000 farms across the United States this year. Our add-on food label distinguishes soil-grown fruits and vegetables from hydroponically-raised produce, and pasture-raised meat, milk, and eggs from products harvested from animals in horrific confinement (CAFOs - confined animal feeding operations).To find a Real Organic farm near you, please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/directoryWe believe that the organic standards, with their focus on soil health, biodiversity, and animal welfare were written as they should be, but that the current lack of enforcement of those standards is jeopardizing the ability for small farms who adhere to the law to stay in business. The lack of enforcement is also jeopardizing the overall health of the customers who support the organic movement; customers who are not getting what they pay for at market but still paying a premium price. And the lack of enforcement is jeopardizing the very cycles (water, air, nutrients) that Earth relies upon to provide us all with a place to live, by pushing extractive, chemical agriculture to the forefront.If you like what you hear and are feeling inspired, we would love for you to join our movement by becoming one of our 1,000 Real Friends:https://www.realorganicproject.org/real-organic-friends/To read our weekly newsletter (which might just be the most forwarded newsletter on the internet!) and get firsthand news about what's happening with organic food, farming and policy, please subscribe here:https://www.realorganicproject.org/email/

When life feels unbearable and God seems silent, where do we turn? In this message from Psalm 42–43, Pastor John invites us to pause—to be honest about our weariness, and to rediscover the hope that comes from trusting in God's steadfast love. Through stories of deep faith and real struggle, we learn how to fight for joy, anchor our souls in God's promises, and find peace even in the valley.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com

Message from Joel Strijbis on 18/10/2025
This Sunday, we invited a panel of elders and female spiritual leaders from our church to discuss their growth in their spiritual lives and walk with God. What does it look like when you are frustrated with God? How do we respond to the divided world around us?
As we thank God for His provisions this Thanksgiving, let's also consider the Lord's Harvest in Matthew 9:35-38. Jesus' compassion for the lost and suffering challenges believers to view their communities with the same compassion. While the world's brokenness reveals a great gospel need, there's also immense potential. However, with few labourers, the church faces a gospel crisis. Jesus' call is clear: to pray for workers to be sent out into His mission field.https://midtownchurch.com/

Preacher: Michael Gay Stand Alone The post Tomorrow Is Another Day appeared first on Gathering Church Viridian.
Sermon preached by Steve Jukes on Sunday 12th October, 2025.
In the fourth and final installment of this Shoptalk series, host David Carothers and Zane Goldthorp of ProWriters tackle a critical issue facing agents every day: the vast difference between a standalone cyber policy and a simple BOP or package endorsement. They call out the laziness of settling for an endorsement, highlighting the massive coverage gaps it leaves and the E&O exposure it creates for the agent. Zane shares real-world horror stories of agents discovering their client's six-figure loss wasn't covered by their BOP. The conversation provides a clear, strategic path for agents to transition clients to proper coverage and use the inadequacy of endorsements as a powerful competitive wedge against other agents. Key Highlights: Standalone Policy vs. BOP Endorsement: A Massive Chasm The core of the episode is a stark warning: a BOP endorsement for cyber is not real protection. Zane explains that when compared side-by-side, endorsements lack critical coverage, have minuscule sublimits for events like social engineering, and often omit coverage entirely for sophisticated attacks like invoice manipulation, leaving clients dangerously exposed. The E&O Nightmare of "Good Enough" Coverage Zane shares his experience taking calls from frantic agents whose clients have suffered a major loss, only to find their BOP endorsement is useless. These situations not only lead to losing the client but also put the agency's own E&O policy on the line for failing to provide adequate counsel and coverage. Cyber as the Ultimate Competitive Wedge If you're prospecting an account and discover their current agent has them on a BOP endorsement, it's "game over." David and Zane explain how an agent with a standalone offering can easily tear the endorsement apart, create immense doubt in the incumbent, and win not just the cyber business but likely the entire account. Breach vs. Privacy vs. System Failure The conversation clarifies that a cyber claim doesn't always require a security breach. Standalone policies respond to a wider range of events, including privacy breaches (like a lost laptop) and dependent system failures. Using the real-world CrowdStrike outage as an example, they illustrate a massive business interruption scenario that would be covered by a standalone policy but never by a BOP.

Eric and Erika Anderson joined us from Ark Church Copenhagen, where they're experiencing a remarkable season of God's blessing.

If you're hungry to see God's power breaking into our world more and more, we encourage you to give this talk a listen!
In this episode of Timeless Spirituality, Daniel explores the difference between faith and belief — and why the distinction matters. Through the lives of five iconic figures, he traces how each one held truth in a way that shaped the world.Martin Luther King Jr. carried a faith rooted not in certainty but in conviction, a faith that marched forward even when the road was dark. Albert Einstein found reverence not in religion but in the mystery and order of the cosmos. Marie Curie believed in process and persistence, trusting the slow, invisible work of discovery. Steve Jobs lived by vision and design, guided less by doctrine than by instinct. And Voltaire, sharp and defiant, put his belief in reason and the freedom to question power.Together, their stories show that belief can live in the mind, but faith lives in motion. Daniel invites listeners to sit with that distinction — to ask not only What do I think is true? but also What will I do because of it?

PREVIEW: HEADLINE: Turkey's Military Ambitions: A Standalone War Machine and Regional Tensions GUEST NAME: Sinan Ciddi SUMMARY: John Batchelor speaks with Sinan Ciddi about Turkey's powerful military-industrial base, which is building a "war machine" for strategic autonomy rather than augmenting NATO. This build-up, including offensive capabilities, raises alarms among Turkey's neighbors like Greece and Israel, who perceive revisionist intentions and escalating language from Erdogan toward former Ottoman territories. 1906 OTTOMAN EMPIRE
